The GOP is still morally corrupt, even if Discourse breaks

Oddly enough, “Make me Smart”, with Kai and Molly from Market Place call out GOP bullshit, which they don’t get to do as often on the actual Market Place Show

Who the F would put the string “trash” into their kid’s name?

This reminds me of a sketch from years ago on SNL where school employees at a field trip are calling the roll of a bunch of weird names. It was from the 90s, because I’m pretty sure Ellen Cleghorne was in it.

They did one of those last year, too.

My friend a schoolteacher once said there was a kid in his class named ‘Shithead,’ to be pronounced “shi-THADE.”

He was probably joking.

A classic. I wonder what the story was there…were the guys playing the Centurions/legionnaires hearing the jokes for the first time, or was all that laughter just acting?

“He has a wife, you know…”

This got pasted a bunch of different places (reddit, quora, stack exchange, etc) (not by me):

I have a physical copy of Monty Python’s Encyclopythonia; which contains some interviews with the Python members.

It’s not that the guards weren’t aware of the script. They were. However, when the scene was being shot, one of the actors couldn’t help but laugh because of Michael Palin’s character. It was just that funny.

Instead of ending the scene, Palin stayed in character and approached the guard; resulting in the scene you are referring to.

However , that does not prove that the guard’s reactions (after their initial unintended outburst) were genuine. They could have picked up on the fact that Palin was improvising, and they continued the scene based on how Palin was steering the conversation.

Monty Python is well known for its improvisation. In improv, when you are dealing with more than one actor; all actors need to understand what they are acting out, and will therefore “build a sketch together” on the fly.

Presumably, only the initial laugh was genuine. The rest is simply a continuation of the scene in an improvised manner.

My most recent Age of Wonders commander was named Karl Hungus, and I giggled constantly for that whole playthrough.

Python also had a sketch on Flying Circus about ‘the Gits.’ Sadly I can’t find a Youtube clip of it.

That’s the name of one of “the Nihilists” from The Big Lebowski, right, played by that Swedish actor who’s in everything (but whose name escapes me)?

And thanks @Calelari for that. It’s always struck me that the first laugh was genuine (the soldier who’s dragged away to be drafted into gladiator duty).
